Star Wars: Screaming Citadel #1 Chris Samnee Variant

Chris Samnee provides the artwork on a few Star Wars comic variant covers.  Currently, he is working with writer Robert Kirkman on their co-created title Firepower from Image Comics and his creator owned-series Jonna and the Unpossible Monsters from Oni Press.

Samnee's artwork for Star Wars: Screaming Citadel #1 is my favorite cover from the Screaming Citadel story arc.  Luke Skywalker and Doctor Aphra are scaling a citadel while monsterous arms reach out from a window in the tower to grab Aphra.  While not an actual scene from the interior of the book, the art does capture the gothic horror mood the story conveys.

The Screaming Citadel stands out as one of the better events that Marvel has done since reacquiring the Star Wars license.  The interior artwork on this opening chapter in the 5-part crossover between the main Star Wars and Doctor Aphra titles is superb and solidifies this as a must own book.
